California Attorney Sparks Outrage with Calls for Genocide Against Armenians

Licensed California attorney Aynur Baghirzade has posted a disturbing call for genocide against Armenians on her personal X account. The explosive remarks made on January 7 have since sparked outrage and calls for immediate action from various online users and concerned individuals.

Baghirzade's reprehensible statements declared, “I think it’s clear that we have to delete Armenia project as soon as possible. They are incapable of accepting their own crimes and apologizing; the only language they understand is the language of force.”

Her inflammatory rhetoric continued, asserting, “Armenia has always bogged down the region, we have to get rid of it to move forward,” further advocating for plans to assimilate Armenia into Azerbaijan. These statements were met with shock and disdain from many who witnessed her comments.

The responses to Baghirzade's alarming call for violence were swift and forceful. X user Lynn expressed intent to report Baghirzade to the California State Bar for investigation, while another user with an Israeli default photo expressed disbelief and also mentioned reporting the attorney's actions.

However, amidst the furor, one Armenian respondent pointedly highlighted the issue of denial and lack of accountability, stating, “Maybe, just maybe, the reason is that you don't see your own crimes? We don't even expect any apologies because we know that Turks don't do that, you are not German at least. We don't believe you and don't want projects or any interaction. Mind your own business.”

Several users, including Mike Tenbelian and John Wilson, urged the California State Bar to take swift action against Baghirzade for her alarming statements, branding her remarks as hate speech and calling for the investigation and potential disbarment of the attorney.

The gravity of Baghirzade's statements was not lost on the online community, with another user highlighting her identity as a California attorney and openly questioning the State Bar's stance on an attorney advocating for the genocide or eradication of an entire nation.
